Howard Bloom, Ladies and Gentlemen...

I just saw you for the first time in months, thank God. Could you help me get the word out on something allegedly "monumental" by sending it to your emailing lists?
I've just published a book, How I Accidentally Started the Sixties, through a new service for established writers, Amazon Shorts. (Could Amazon Boxers be far behind?)

According to Timothy Leary, How I Accidentally Started The Sixties

"is a monumental, epic, glorious literary achievement. Every page, every paragraph, every sentence sparkles with captivating metaphors, delightful verbal concoctions, alchemical insights, philosophic whimsy, absurd illogicals, scientific comedy routines, relentless, non stop waves of hilarity. The comparisons to James Joyce are inevitable and undeniable. Finnegans's Wake wanders through the rock 'n roll sixties. Wow! Whew! Wild! Wonderful!"

But what does Leary know? For one thing, he died four months after he penned these words. So here are some more recent opinions.

"Howard Bloom's raucous ride through the 60s is a treat you cannot deny yourself. The book possesses all of the exhilaration of the era it recaptures: the fantasies and follies, the search for truth, peace, and of course, true love. How I Accidentally Started The Sixties is youth itself‑‑tentative, tenacious, charming and cathartic‑‑a journey you'll miss when it's finished." Patrice Adcroft, former Editor, Omni Magazine, former Editor-in-Chief, Seventeen Magazine, author of Everyday Doughnuts

"A dazzling, dizzy, uproariously funny descent into the Sixties. Howard Bloom is a brilliant raconteur." Sol Gordon author of Why Love Is Not Enough



"I absolutely loved How I Accidentally Started The Sixties. It reminded me of the best novels by Tom Robbins and Clyde Edgerton. The weird thing is, the whole story is true." Don Cusic, author of Cowboys and the Wild West: An A-Z Guide from the Chisholm Trail to the Silver Screen and Reba McEntire: Country Music's Queen



“Howard Bloom is an unparalleled literary stylist and a rip-roarin' storyteller. I could easily return to the hippie life that young Howard Bloom invented and which I read about with such fondness in his e-book-- but I can't take my wife with me.” Joe Quirk, author of Sperm Are From Men, Eggs Are From Women and From Monkey Business to Marriage



"How I Accidentally Started The Sixties is wonderful. Howard Bloom is one of the greatest stylists I have ever read." William L. Rivers, Paul C. Edwards Professor of Writing, Stanford University, author of Free‑lancer and Staff Writer



To find How I Accidentally Started The Sixties, simply go to Amazon.com and type in How I Accidentally Started the Sixties or Howard Bloom.



I've enclosed a copy of the book so you can figure out whether the words of praise above were coerced at gunpoint or are genuine sterling.



The more email lists you can flog this supposedly "glorious literary achievement" to, the more I'd appreciate it.



All thanks--Howard
